Abstract
A meat grinder includes a pump (12) that feeds meat particles into a mixing chamber (32) at a constant flow rate. The meat exits into a frusto-conical shaped collection chamber (36) for passage to a grinder plate (38). A rotating knife (40) with radially extending blades (50) is rotated by a hydraulic motor (42) at a variable rate. The variable flow rate of the particles to chamber (36) and the variable speed of the knife (40) results in a variable particle size output by the grinder plate (38).
